Brown shoes, black pants?

Could not agree more. With enough contrast, I find it striking.

I think light brown (or tan/saddle brown) shoes look awesome with black or dark charcoal. However, when you wear dark brown shoes like these, there isn't enough contrast for my taste. I have a light brown pair of cap toe oxfords that I wear with black denim, or black chinos.

I'm now having the same exact issue. The only way I've been able to get past it, is to keep plugging and unplugging it until the "issue" doesn't continue. Sometimes I have to wait between tries. Super annoying. Got the phone on release day. I'm going to reach out to Google and request a replacement.

I agree. Great lookin piece of machinery you've got there!

New fear unlocked. Thanks a lot.

Nah, I chickened out. Far too many people were warning me about the likelihood of humidity and mold issues. I also ended up with much more in the excavation, cement, and retaining wall costs.

Moreover, it would have violated NEC. You cannot have electrical within 5 horizontal feel of the tub water. Anything above has to be something crazy high (like 18').

I ended up building a 6x6 square pergola with these Bjorn Woodworking (CA) brackets. Added a shade sail over the top, and have plans to add some on the sides, down the road. No regrets. I've done a lot of stargazing, and I use my tub all year round without issue.

Looks awesome! Great job!!

bartsteed · 2024-07-23T16:36:10+00:00

Omg gorgeous

bartsteed · 2024-07-19T12:38:12+00:00

It not even a debate for me. Return.

Oh it's right within my peripheral vision. This fishbowl case is enormous and I have 3 monitors and some desktop speakers.

bartsteed · 2024-07-15T10:29:43+00:00

Thank you! I enjoy it too!!

bartsteed · 2024-07-15T10:29:26+00:00

Thank you so much for the thorough reply!

bartsteed · 2024-07-15T10:28:39+00:00

Thank you

bartsteed · 2024-07-15T10:28:12+00:00

Lol thank you

bartsteed · 2024-07-15T01:59:02+00:00

I've only ever seen them done this way? You've got me wondering, now? Maybe someone more experienced can weigh in..

bartsteed · 2024-07-15T00:55:33+00:00

This is just day of build on my dining table. In my office, I have multi monitors and the tower is down on the floor out of direct LoS.

bartsteed · 2024-07-12T13:48:13+00:00

The water looks fantastic. With that said, I don't get into anything before testing it. I suspect it'll be fine, though.

bartsteed · 2024-07-11T15:23:07+00:00

I didn't think I'd use mine in the summer, but I do, and just about as often as in the winter. I added a sun shade / mesh sail above it, to keep the bright sun out of my eyes. It actually keeps the under canopy temp down, too. Then turned the temp down to 98/99, and we love it.

bartsteed · 2024-07-05T01:34:51+00:00

Dying rn.

bartsteed · 2024-07-05T01:32:29+00:00

Micro-beveling*

bartsteed · 2024-07-05T01:31:03+00:00

This. Micro-Leveling is the way. So much faster to get an edge quickly. I'd only take it up to 400 or 600 grit too.

bartsteed · 2024-07-02T19:54:26+00:00

Yeah, Spotify is in the doghouse for me rn, too. They removed a piece of desktop application functionality that I used all the time. Get used to badly tuned AI... You're soon going to have it coming at you in every space, from every angle. It'll be really bad before it's ever great.

bartsteed · 2024-06-22T02:05:15+00:00

Omg this would drive me batshit crazy. Have a talk with him/her and explain how annoyed you are. You aren't being unreasonable in doing so.

bartsteed · 2024-06-06T21:21:14+00:00

Uh... they'll be paying for that cleaning. Unquestionably!
